estate ut Bismark, Dakota, and was

Our correspondent from Bannerville
reports that Charles Lehr, an old
man OF about 40, residing about 2!
miles west of Bannerville, was found
b urned to death on Monday morning
and his house in ashes. Upon in

into the water. The neighbors pre-
vailed upon him to come into the
huses and dry himself, but he pre-
ferred going to his house "a mere
shanty which he occupied alone) to
dry himself. The next morning the
shanty was found in ashes and among
